Though the season may be the Cult hit's last, its list of guest stars is unwavering. Netflix commissioned a fourth season of Hurwitz's ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT in early 2012, securing original cast members and an all-star lineup of guest stars including Conan O'Brien and Liza Minnelli.

Yesterday, Netflix's CEO Reed Hastings confirmed the news that it would be essentially impossible to continue on with the series in the same capacity. n a conference call with investors, he said:

"Arrested is a unique property, we don't anticipate being able to do season five, six and seven," Hastings said. "We have less of a stake in it. It is really a fantastic one-off, which is coming together incredibly. I think it will be amazing for us, but think of it as a nonrepeatable amazing, whereas the other thing that we are doing is to trying to figure out a real mechanism where we can build shows and develop franchises over the long term. In that way, Arrested Development is a wildly successful tactic, as opposed to fundamental to the strategy."
